MOJO269 Birthday Card & Blog Candy Winner

November 26, 2012

Happy Monday! Today we are taking a quick break from Christmas cards and refresh our eyes with a simple and easy Birthday card. I participated in this week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge.

I used Birds of a Feather Designer Series Paper for this card. It is combined with both masculine and feminine colors so you can create basically ANY occasions cards easily.
Sentiment of the card is stamped with Delightful Dozen Stamp Set. It is super versatile and a one stop shop for all of your cards for different occasions.

Scraps & Stamps TIP:
– Notice how I stamped the sentiment with two colors? Its easy! Stamp the sentiment with a lighter color first, and use a darker color marker to color it over. I used Crumb Cake and Island Indigo for the sentiment.

– When using a sketch that requires lots of layers, try doing a white background so your accents can pop easily.

– Use 3-4 colors to keep the card simple but colorful at the same time. Too much colors can distract the focal point of the card.

Supplies List:
Whisper White Cardstock
Crumb Cake Cardstock
Island Indigo Cardstock
Summer Starfruit Cardstock
Birds of a Feather DSP
Delightful Dozen Stamp Set
2 1/2″ Circle Punch
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Neuturals Designer Buttons
Crumb Cake Ink Pad
Island Indigo Marker

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
